Coconut Fried Rice

Leftover rice is pure gold. Nice and stale after a few days in the fridge, a bowl of leftover rice is the key to throwing together an amazing bowl of fried rice. Having leftover coconut fried rice just takes things up to an even more delicious level. Sweet and salty coconut fried rice is as good as it gets.

Fried rice has become my secret weapon in the toddler food wars. Sophie is just too busy to eat nowadays, and it really takes something good to get her to sit down and put some food in her mouth. Fried rice, packed with egg, veggies and ham gets her attention and keeps her in her seat until her bowl is licked clean. Sometimes I even throw in some raisins to really get her excited.

Making coconut rice is just as easy as making regular rice. You simply substitute unsweetened coconut milk for half of the liquid. For one cup of rice, cook with one cup of coconut milk and one cup of water. That will yield about two cups of rice. Just increase the proportions if you’d like more rice. One can of coconut milk is approximately two cups. If you’re a true coconut lover (like me!) you can throw in some dried coconut to boost the flavor.
